At a routine traffic stop last year, 5-year old Mackenzie Brown sacrificially gave up her own stuffed moose toy to a Pennsylvania police officer, hoping it would help keep him safe. "She was holding a stuffed moose out of the window and tried giving him to me," the police officer said on the Facebook page created on behalf of the moose. "I tried to politely say no thank you, but was told she wanted me to have him so he could keep me safe. Clearly there was no way to say no to that!" The officer held onto "Mr. Moosey" for a short time, but then decided to pass along the stuffed animal to different first responder units.

It was a hit. Recently, reporters followed up on the story and discovered that the moose has since made visits to Chicago, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, "serving" alongside Air Marshalls, the National Guard, fire departments, and even the NYPD Intel-Terrorism Office. The Facebook page "Mr. Moosey's World Tour" is updated regularly with stories of what impact the presence of the moose has had on different parts of the country.
